Have your people been specifically and professionally trained to move beyond coaching, to focus on a quantum shift in achieving significant results? Do you know how to get to the heart of the problem, and negotiate around the presenting problem? Solution focused coaching reduces the time it takes to get to an outcome, in performance, development and skills conversations.

How good are your coaching skills in achieving solutions?

Ask yourself the following:

  1. My coaching helps my staff reach their goals.
  2. My staff value the time we spend having coaching conversations.
  3. My staff’s performance has improved as a result of my coaching.
  4. In coaching conversations, I always give regular feedback using specific examples.
  5. When coaching, the goals we set are always stretching but attainable.
  6. I am good at helping my staff develop clear, simple and achievable action plans.
  7. When coaching, I keep written record of my staff’s action plans.
  8. When coaching, I help my staff focus on achieving success through effective action planning.
  9. During coaching, I always ask my staff to report to me on progress towards their goals.
  10. When coaching, I address any performance shortfalls directly and promptly.
  11. I use active listening and solution focussed questioning skills.
  12. In my coaching, I always acknowledge and praise my staff’s success.
  13. I am aware of both mine and the coachee’s personality style.
  14. I can deal with difficult coachees effectively.
  15. I always ensure that any goals we set during the coaching conversation are measurable.
  16. I am good at acknowledging and show that I understand my staff’s feelings.
  17. I ask questions which help my staff have greater clarity about the issues they face.

You’ll be familiar with the 70:20:10 learning apparatus. The “20” piece of 70:20:10 hinges on coaching abilities. Here is a chance to fine-tune coaching skills. It’s not unusual in the workplace for people to be pursuing different outcomes. You certainly want to avoid people counter-pulling in opposing directions. Coaching is also a great opportunity to remove role ambiguity. Did you know role ambiguity is the #1 cause of conflict in the workplace? Coaching other people can be highly rewarding or highly frustrating. Participants will use the GROW model as a proven framework to permeate 70:20:10 learning.

Different types of mentoring

There are 2 broad types of mentoring relationships. Formal and informal. Informal relationships develop on their own between parties. Formal mentoring is a structured process supported by the organisation and delivered to a targeted group. In well-designed formal mentoring programs, there are program goals, schedules, training, and evaluation.

“The delicate balance of mentoring someone is not creating them in your own image, but giving them the opportunity to create themselves.”

– Steven Spielberg

 

Proposed Mentoring Approach

Step 1: Mentor the Mentor and Setting Expectations for Mentees Learning Sessions

To start your mentoring project, we would recommend a learning session for both Mentors and Mentees. These two sessions would be run separately. Ideally, mentors and mentees understand individual roles. Some organisations question the need to prep the mentees. But we would recommend that your initial project does include the mentee workshop too.

Step 2: 90-minute Launch Event

A 60 – 90 minute launch event creates enthusiasm for the project. This can be a lunch, afternoon tea, after work drinks or some such “gathering” event that you deem appropriate. During this launch event, the whole group is introduced to each other. We would ask one of your Senior Leadership team to introduce the program. Our Mentoring Expert would then facilitate a mentoring discussion.

Step 3: Allocation of Teams, Organising Goals and Meetings

At the conclusion of the facilitated discussion, the mentors, and mentees would be paired and spend 30 minutes looking at goals as well as mapping out their meetings moving forward. Our Mentoring Expert is close by to help structure each pairing mentorship plan. The Mentoring Expert also helps each pairing to set standards and expectations.

Step 4: Autonomous Mentor and Mentee Meetings

Individual meetings usually occur face-to-face. Building a regular mentoring schedule works best (e.g. fortnightly meetings). Speak to your consultant about what logistics work best for you. We can manage the entire project, or you may prefer to run part of the project.

Step 5: Conclusion

A conclusion is very important in a mentoring project. The conclusion includes a project completion date. Without a conclusion, the project fizzes out and misses the opportunity of making an impact. We recommend that we design a conclusion that is appreciative of everybody’s inputs. Our conclusion wraps up the key learnings from the mentoring project. Our conclusion also motivates the mentors to nominate as mentors again.

 

Where to from here?

If building a dynamic internal mentoring program is on your radar, please let your consultant know. We can work collaboratively with you to design a world best practise mentoring program.
